"Considering You'll Need to Prepare Something Anyway, How About Embroidering Masks as Place Cards?"
2020.07.25 published
Due to the Coronavirus.
Nowadays, it's a world where masks are a must no matter where you go or who you meet.
It's hot, painful, and hard to breathe, and you can't see the other person's face or your own, so I hate wearing them all the time. But it seems that they are effective for infection prevention, so having a mask does provide some peace of mind.....
It's the same when attending weddings; many recent weddings are progressing with the premise that all guests will wear masks.
During weddings in February and March, it felt somewhat rude to wear masks during the reception or ceremony, didn't it!? But now, a few months later (even if the world has changed), not wearing a mask can be seen as rude or against etiquette, and it might make people think you aren't considering others!
Honestly, I can't keep up with the rapid changes in the world, and I want to hold a wedding without masks. It seems sad for masks to appear in recorded photos and videos..... While I think it's unavoidable, I still can't fully give up that feeling, and I understand it painfully well.
However, I don't know what the outcome would be if a wedding was held without masks, and I wouldn't want to be thought of as someone who "caught an infection at the wedding!" Some guests might feel anxious without masks, so I think masks are essential items after all......
(In other countries, many designs of masks for brides are being created.)
Preparing Masks for Guests...?
If masks are essential items anyway...
Then, it seems there is a movement to gift masks from the bride and groom to the guests as a kind of surprise!
This idea uses masks with names on them as placeholders for seating ♡
Here is one with initials.
Whether it's embroidered or using appliques, having personalized masks become party goods is innovative.
They serve as seating cards, and since they have names on them, when everyone takes them off during the meal and places them on the table, it's immediately clear whose mask is whose, which is good to prevent mix-ups.
Having a name embroidered on the mask gives it a special feeling, and when taken stylishly in photos like this, they also look quite cute.....!
How about personalized masks?
A wedding idea where you give personalized masks to guests participating in the ceremony and reception.
It might be a good idea to incorporate it into your wedding plans*
Let's also prepare mask cases*
Whether you prepare masks or not, during this time, guests are likely to arrive at the wedding wearing masks.
When the meal starts at the reception, they will need to take them off, but leaving the masks on the table seems unsanitary, and it can become unclear whose mask is whose. So, it would be kind to provide each guest with a "mask case"*
We have created original mask cases at marry, so we would be happy if you could make use of them♡
